No More Isms

It's one thing Björk and I were trying to get across with our project. It could be sort of summed up like this:

Stop pimping your ism. Stop figuring out how to position yourself just right with regard to how one comes across to other humans (style). This is a game played in consumer space that began (interesting) at the start of mega fossil fuel emissions. The top level of the game is a self-reflexive play mode (the ism part, hence consumer-ism), and this top level ended up Pac-Manning the levels below. The spiritualization of experience as the ultimate consumer product missed a spot, namely how experience itself isn't just you and isn't just human. Start relating to nonhumans instead. You're already a bagful of them.

  1. A bagful! Like a Portuguese Man O War (sort-of jelly fish)

  2. So, no more reference to:

    correlationism
    but to correlation oriented ontology = COO or CO2

    materialism
    but to material oriented ontology = MOO or MO2

    1. We are free to mention as many isms as we wish. No more art movements based on anthropocentric correlationist positioning in consumer space.
